Java trades blows with Golang, depending on the use case.

Ruby does have the block related stuff like the & argument and the single line block { }. But other than that I also think it's relatively similar to Python (which doesn't even support blocks anyway).

What do you mean by huge systems? Many of the largest web platforms were indeed built with dynamically types languages. And these days Javascript somehow ends up being used for almost everything you can think except an OS kernel.

Yes, but it caches the generated code, so if you run a function 1000 times you only pay the compilation cost once.

I have the exact opposite experience, bundler + rbenv are so much nicer to use than pip and venv. rbenv automatically loads the correct ruby version when I enter a project directory and bundler is just so much more capable and intuitive tha

I believe you that pip has no relation to bundler and venvs have no relation to rvm or rbenv because bundler and rbenv are so much more intuitive and useful. Poetry gets very close through, but it took decades to get there and afaik it is s

Those devices have a lot of spare CPU and RAM but basically no spare battery capacity.

Google themselves admitted that it was just a "visualization" of the actual prompts and responses, and some of the prompts were very different and more detailed than the voiced "visualizations".

You're not storing a string, you're storing a JSON object. If you want to store a string use TEXT or VARCHAR.

He is not the owner of OpenAI so it can be considered harmful to the company if there was a better chip maker or deal available but he chose the one he has a personal take in. It would be very hard to prove that choosing company A over comp

The entire financial industry disagrees. Also can I interest you in coming out of retirement to explain your cobol code to other developers?

8 months of 24/7 usage, so for most people it will still take years.

This is anecdotal but the smartest people I know also seem to have the best memories of the people I know, maybe those things are related or it's just a coincidence in my circles. But it wouldn't surprise me that a good memory can

Ok, but does any of this have to do with tax avoidance? I thought that was what you were talking about, no? Because what you just described would happen the same way with a for-profit company, no?

If the money is legitimately obtained there is no money laundering happening, by definition. It's just a mechanism to increase the privacy of the user.

In this context, what would be the difference between those?

Those are not the drivers, it's just a small portion of code with some constants and interfaces, IIRC.

I did have some Bluetooth issues that made my headset unusable if I was using a Bluetooth mouse at the same time, but that issue seems to have resolved itself a few weeks ago so now I don't have any complaints either.

It's quite sad that one person can get this level of hate online just for releasing open source software. If you don't like his software why are you using it? If it's because your distro uses it shouldn't you try to be c

Those are separate binaries under the same umbrella project name, you're not forced to use resolverd if you just want the init system.

How does pipewire work around those driver issues? Could pulseaudio use the same techniques but there was just no development capacity for it?
175.
by ric2b 3y ago
On 23.10 they use pipewire 0.3.79 which I think is the latest stable release before this brand new 1.0 release.

AMD has open source drivers so it's basically just NVIDIA that doesn't. Unless you already want to count intel, not sure if they count as actual products or are still in early access.

Your friends IOU's are just IOU's, the bank's IOU's are legal tender. That's the difference.

The crime is the product because that's what's left after the media makes it sound like everyone using crypto is either an idiot or a criminal, so most businesses avoid it because they don't want to be labeled as either.
